Grandma Meng was frightened by this and became skeptical. Her childhood classmates had told her about gods descending to earth.
This is obviously a little girl, but her voice can change at will, and she can also produce so many good things. If this isn't a fairy, then what is she?
The old lady was struggling with this in her heart, but after a while she felt it made sense.
Thinking about the severe crackdown on religious superstition these days, Grandma Meng would not mention it to anyone. If the little fairy was caught, she would also be dragged away for criticism.
Seeing that Grandma Meng didn't move, Jiang Baige started washing the meat herself.
There isn't a single good knife in Grandma Meng's kitchen, and the chopping board is moldy.
She decided to go all out and took out a kitchen knife and a cutting board from the space. There was no big iron pot in the space, so she took out a slightly larger wok.
"Grandma Meng, please cook! I'm hungry."
Grandma Meng came to her senses and thought, this little fairy wants to eat, so she quickly prepared food.
What a blessing this is! The gods have come down to earth and come to my home. I will serve them better.
Jiang Baige took Grandma Meng's hand and told her what the things she had just taken out were. She wanted her to count them and put them away after use so that it would be easier to find them later.
Grandma Meng touched a kitchen knife first. Jiang Baige said, "This kitchen knife is new and very sharp. Don't cut your hand."
When Grandma Meng touched the smooth blade, she knew it was a good kitchen knife.
Nodding, "Yeah, I'll be worried about that."
Jiang Baige then told her where the chopping board and wok were.
Grandma Meng asked in confusion, "Little Fairy, are these all for me?"
When Jiang Baige heard Grandma Meng calling her "little fairy", she burst out laughing.
"Grandma Meng, you can call me Xiao Jiang, or Xiao Bai, or Bai Ge, but you can't call me Little Fairy. If you do, I'll be dragged out for criticism, and if I don't, I'll be burned to death."
Grandma Meng reacted and quickly changed her words, "Girl, can I become a girl this year?"
Jiang Baige nodded in response, "It's all right. You sit down, I'll cut the meat, and we'll cook!"
The two of them were separated by a load, and it was already dark outside.
It started to rain lightly, and Jiang Baige hurried to the yard to collect firewood. If it got wet, it would be difficult to light the firewood for cooking tomorrow.
She was busy collecting firewood outside and carried all the firewood into the kitchen.
Grandma Meng was cooking when she heard the footsteps. She guessed that the little fairy could transform into some small gadgets, but she couldn't fly, otherwise why would she make footsteps?
Jiang Baige collected all the firewood, washed her hands and face, and then went to the kitchen.
Grandma Meng doesn't have a big pot, so it's difficult for her to boil water for a bath. She has to ask the village chief tomorrow where she can buy a big iron pot.
She and Grandma Meng had been together for several days. She had taken a bath twice, but Grandma Meng had never seen her take a bath.
Smelling the aroma of rice, Grandma Meng said, "Girl, the rice is served, let's eat!
Jiang Baige brought two bowls and filled them with rice.
"Grandma Meng, you eat first. I'll clean the pot and boil some water to wash my face."
Grandma Meng was not polite either. If the little fairy wanted to eat by herself, then she could eat. Otherwise, what if she got angry and didn’t want to live in her house anymore?
Jiang Baige cleaned the pot, fetched another pot of water, placed it on the stove, added some firewood, and then came back to eat.
Braised pork belly and potatoes with white rice. The pork belly and potatoes were braised until they were crispy and fragrant. When mixed with the rice, she was so greedy that her mouth was watering.
She served a large bowl to Grandma Meng and also served one for herself.
When I came back after finishing my work, Grandma Meng had almost finished eating.
After the two of them finished their meal, Grandma Meng simply washed her face and went back to her room to rest.
Jiang Baige also took a quick shower and returned to her room.
She was really exhausted today. Now she was lying on the bed, feeling pain all over her body, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Grandma Meng was very worried and had a dream at night. She dreamed of the stories her aunt told her when she was a child.
The story she dreamed of was actually a folk myth. After liberation, people were not allowed to tell these stories, so she gradually forgot about it.
Jiang Baige slept soundly that night without any dreams.
The weather is bad today. It has been drizzling since last night and has not stopped.
When it was time to get up, Jiang Baige heard the sound of rain outside and guessed that she might not have to go to work today, so she didn't plan to get up.
The village radio also sounded at this time, "Villagers, villagers, because of the rain today, we have decided not to go to work."
"During this busy season, villagers took the opportunity to have breakfast and come to the village canteen for a meeting."
The village was going to hold a meeting, which had nothing to do with the educated youth. Jiang Baige didn't even lift her eyelids and fell asleep again.
Grandma Meng came to the door and called out twice, "Girl, girl, are you up? The meal is ready, let's eat!"
The old lady had difficulty walking, but she still got up early in the morning to prepare dinner. Jiang Baige, who said she would take care of the patient, had not yet gotten up.
When she heard nothing, Grandma Meng kept calling out, "Girl," and told her not to get up or the food would get cold.
Jiang Baige was awakened by Grandma Meng's voice. She stretched lazily and squinted her eyes as she replied, "Okay, I'll get up right away."
She slowly sat up from the bed, pinched her sore thighs, yawned, then put on her clothes and got out of bed.
While rubbing her sleepy eyes, she scratched her hair, gathered all her hair together, and made a bun.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Grandma Meng smiled and said, "Get up and eat! I'm afraid the food will get cold."
Jiang Baige reached out and held the old lady's hand, gently helping her to the kitchen.
"Grandma Meng, you can eat first when the meal is ready. I will warm it up myself when I get up."
"How could I ask an old lady like you to invite me to dinner? If this gets out, people will report me."
Grandma Meng smiled and said, "I have nothing to do when I'm free. What else can I do besides cooking? The hot water is ready. You can wash your face and eat!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Grandma Meng. I'll go wash up now."
Jiang Baige helped Grandma Meng sit on a stool, then moved to pour water for her to wash.
The old lady was blind, and the hot water she boiled was filled with dust from the burning firewood, which fell into the water and polluted it.
After washing up, Jiang Baige came to the table and sat down.
What we had for breakfast was last night’s leftovers, which must have been re-cooked with water added.
The rice in the bowl was cooked soft and juicy, and it was emitting a steaming aroma.
Grandma Meng was still waiting for her. When she heard her sit down, she smiled at her and said, "Eat!"
Jiang Baige sat down, looked at the breakfast on the table, and said with emotion: "Grandma Meng, you are so kind. It's really hard for you to get up so early to cook."
Grandma Meng waved her hands, her smile revealing deep joy: "I am so happy to be able to cook for the little fairy."
"You've taken care of me for so many days, and you've added these good things to our home, and you've also given me enough to eat. I can't express how happy I am."
"Hurry up and eat! I have to go to the cafeteria for a meeting soon!"
